Introduction

The New Year is a time of celebration and new beginnings. It's also a great time to introduce your toddler to new English words and concepts. Here are some fun and easy activities that you can do with your child to help them learn about the New Year.

New Year's Vocabulary

Start by teaching your child some basic New Year's vocabulary. Here are some words that you can introduce:
New Year
Happy New Year
celebrate
fireworks
countdown
resolution

You can also teach your child about the different ways that people celebrate the New Year. For example, some people watch fireworks, while others eat special foods or make resolutions.

New Year's Activities

Once your child has learned some basic New Year's vocabulary, you can start doing some fun activities to help them learn about the holiday. Here are a few ideas:
Make a New Year's countdown chain. Cut out 12 strips of paper and write a different New Year's activity on each strip. For example, you could write "watch fireworks" on one strip and "eat a special food" on another strip. Tape the strips together to make a chain and then countdown to the New Year by tearing off one strip each day.
Create a New Year's resolution. Help your child come up with a New Year's resolution, such as "be nicer to my friends" or "eat more vegetables." Write down the resolution and put it somewhere where your child can see it every day.
Sing New Year's songs. There are many popular New Year's songs that you can sing with your child. Here are a few examples:


"Auld Lang Syne"
"Happy New Year"
"We Wish You a Merry New Year"

New Year's Crafts

In addition to the activities above, you can also do some fun New Year's crafts with your child. Here are a few ideas:
Make a New Year's hat. Cut out a large circle from construction paper and decorate it with markers, crayons, or stickers. Then, glue a headband or string to the inside of the circle so that your child can wear it.
Create a New Year's noisemaker. Fill an empty water bottle with rice or beans and then seal the lid. Decorate the bottle with markers or paint. Your child can shake the noisemaker to make a loud noise at the stroke of midnight.
Build a New Year's countdown clock. Use cardboard or construction paper to create a clock face. Write the numbers 1-12 on the clock face and then use a marker or paint to draw the hands of the clock. Your child can practice counting down to the New Year by moving the hands of the clock.

Conclusion

The New Year is a great time to teach your toddler about new English words and concepts. By doing fun and easy activities, you can help your child learn about the holiday and make lasting memories.
